A few weeks ago, it was Pascha. The Eastern Orthodox version of Easter (usually later than the Western Easter—never earlier—and the most important holiday of the year, more important than Christmas), at which the above greeting and its response (Indeed/Truly/In Truth He Is Risen!) is called out, along with the troparion, about a zillion times, and, at least in the parish I used to go to, in many different languages.

Recent Poetry, July 2024
What’s True
It’s all quite new: what’s everywhere around us.
It’s also old, but that should not astound us
There’s no dividing line between the two,
Or aught else either. And that much is true.
